The saints, all in one grid
Saints are remembered for their faith and good works, and this puzzle gathers many of the best known. You'll be finding the apostles — PETER, PAUL, ANDREW and the gospel writers — the patron saints of nations like PATRICK, GEORGE and DAVID, and beloved figures from FRANCIS of Assisi to JOAN of Arc.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two saints word searches are the same. One round a backwards NICHOLAS hides in a corner; the next a diagonal BERNADETTE stretches across the middle.
A natural fit for RE topics
Saints come up across religious education, from patron saints and saints' days to the stories behind them. This puzzle pairs well with a topic on famous saints or a feast-day display.
Most names are short and familiar, so Easy mode plays well, while longer ones like AUGUSTINE and BERNADETTE give older students a little more to find.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each name you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know who's left to find.
